Defence Update - BBC special: Our Offer – your money, your future
Radio 4's Money Box has spoken with Service personnel, a panel of experts, and the Minister for Veterans and People about how the Armed Forces offer more than just your pay packet.
The Armed Forces Offer gives you a range of benefits. These can help your money go further now and in the future. This includes help with housing, discounts and support to save.
In the special episode aired on 29 July, Money Box explored what this means for our people and the challenges they can face. It also looked at what Defence is doing to keep improving the offer.
Real stories, real support
Presenter Felicity Hannah spoke with Service personnel at Weeton Barracks in Preston to learn how they manage their finances. She was also joined in the studio by an expert panel, to discuss what’s on offer, from joining to leaving the military.
The panel included Ann Griffiths, Head of Policy and Research at the Royal British Legion, Kate Gannon, Vice President of the Personal Finance Society, and Sergeant Cameron Eden, a serving member of the Army and creator of ‘The Savvy Squaddie’ – a YouTube channel that offers guidance and insights to help Service personnel and veterans with their personal finances.
Felicity spoke with personnel who have received the retention bonus and used the Forces Help to Buy Scheme, and to a member of the Staff and Personnel Support Branch, who helps Service people with their finances.
